John 3:14-21 NIV Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Matthew 12:39: means that the only sign will be the resurrection of Jesus which will be prolonged in the resurrection of his followers. This is the sign that will be given to doctors and Pharisees in the future

Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." ------- I am curious to know (1) Who mentioned as "Son of Man"?? (2) If Jesus described himself as "Son of Man", why do Christians tell him "Son of God"?? (3) If Jesus described someone other as "Son of Man", who is he and how the prophecy had been completed??

The pharisees hated Jesus because of His influence on the people. They were looking for any way to get rid of Him . If Jesus said He was the Son of God, they would accuse Him of blasphemy and kill Him yet His time had not yet arrived and His mission was not complete. (This is the main reason in my opinion but there are many other reasons He called Himself Son of man)

Jesus uses Jonah’s experience to explain the greatest sign he would perform for the people of Israel - the resurrection.

I was hoping that you would also talk about the Queen of the south that is mentioned hear, too. I think the Queen that is mentioned in Matthew 12:42 references Revelations 17 and 18.

Jonah preached to the Ninevites, yet 40 days and Ninevah shall be overturned. Jesus's death was sometime between 28 and 33 AD. If He proclaimed the message about the sign of Jonah in 30AD, then 40 years later, a "day for a year" as it says in Ezekiel, Jerusalem was destroyed, in 70 AD. Because they didn't repent. Ninevah was such a large city that it took 3 days to go through the city, and Jesus preached for 3 years.

What Jesus (pbuh) meant is,his miracles are like Jonah. When Jonah was thrown in the sea,he is alive. When the fish swallow him,he is still alive. When Jonah was on shore,he is still alive. That means,Jesus (pbuh) he never died,he is still alive. He did not die,but God raise him up to the heavens,and did not die. The same miracle like Jonah. Alive,alive and alive.

@@9000o-d9f no, it tells about the sign of Jonah in which Jonah was never dead. He was always alive in every situation

What the scriptures are saying is that the Jews had among them Jesus Christ-a prophet much greater than Jonah. Though Jonah was an adequate sign to the Ninevites, Jesus preached with far more authority and supporting proof than that prophet did. Yet, the Jews in general didn’t believe.-John 4:48

The sign of Jonah is life not death.
